If beer isn’t your speed, or maybe your taste buds are worn out, then Mainstrasse Village may be the place for you this weekend.

The wine festival features tastings from more than 15 local wineries -- including Baker-Bird Winery, Elk Creek Vineyards, Purple Toad Winery and more -- as well as food, artisans and live entertainment.

So whether you’re looking to sample some local wines, get a taste of perfectly paired food or just want a whole bottle of locally made wine for yourself, you can sip as much as you please.

Think you have what it takes to defeat an obstacle course designed by British Special Forces? We’ve got the race for you.

The Tough Mudder race is coming to Maysville on Saturday and Sunday and thousands of people are expected to take part. The 10+ mile course features “military-style obstacles such as ‘Funky Monkey,’ greased-up incline and decline monkey bars; ‘Fire Walker,’ a run through 4-foot-high flames; and ‘Electroshock Therapy,’ a gauntlet of 10,000-volt-charged dangling wires participants must barrel through to get to the finish line,” and more.

The race also raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project and organizers said they’ve raised more than $6.5 million for the charity so far.

Washington Park has quickly become the scene for artists, movers, shakers and makers since its 2012 rebirth. The park is a constant staple for everything artistic, from the City Flea to outdoor music festivals.

The park will be home to more than 90 makers for the Cincinnati Maker Faire. But this fair isn’t just about sharing arts and crafts: Get ready for a power tool drag race, a drum set that shoots fireballs, a one-man concert played entirely on Nintendo Gameboys, robots and more. Makers include Clay Street Press, Grateful Grahams, Kiki Magazine, Lily in Flux and more.
